My usual "Yet Another Installation Report". I started from 8.2-beta1 CDs and the I upgraded to today's Cooker.
**General consideration** Linux is reaching the perfection with your distribution! :o)k Installer is almost perfect in "expert" mode, and there are just some minor bugs I found till now (12 hours of usage, not too much to find out everything!)... So, here we are! DURING INSTALLATION - Ramsize (256MB found) = nopentiums ??!?!?!?! So installer asks for "precise ramsize" to go on, even if it really finds out the correct amount. Quite strange! - XFree. Chose between 3.3.6 and 4.1.0 but "rpm -qa |grep XFree" reports many 4.2.0 packages. It's strange too, but it works! - Networking. Domain is setted to localdomain event if I gave my fully qualified name "monster.roma2.infn.it" --> "monstar / localdomain". POST INSTALLATION - Sourcing /etc/bashrc report an error: there's a read-only variable!!! - "What to do" men� is missing main icon and the first entry is ".hidden" (?) - Sound is not configured, I had to install sndconfig to hear a sound from my Creative Vibra 16pnp - Sound in KDE won't work correctly. Sound server complains about a "busy device" just since the first login after a reboot. It's quite random, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not... - Running lilo report some warnings, like "don't support menu-scheme"... - KUPS --> configure CUPS --> error opening config file... - rpmdrake --> new-source --> Cooker --> update-list of the mirror ==> segfault! Well, that's all at the moment! :-) C. -- Claudio Panichi, System/Network Admin at Dept. of Physics "Tor Vergata" University and INFN - Sec. "Roma II" Remote System is: LINUX!
